Today, @SFPD released 2018 year-end public safety stats, which showed progress in a number of areas. There is still plenty of work to be done to make SF a safer place for all of residents, and I'm committed to building on this early progress.
Here are a some of the highlights:
•Homicides down 18 percent; •Homicides by firearms down 37 percent; •Non-fatal shooting incidents down 30 percent; •Aggravated assaults down 3 percent; •Auto burglaries down 17 percent; •Auto thefts down 13 percent; and •Larceny theft down 10 percent.
I've worked with the @SFPD to expand foot patrols in UN Plaza, Mid-Market, and Tenderloin, which research has shown to decrease assaults and thefts. I've invested in training 250 additional police officers and 90 dispatcher recruits to serve the City.
As I've said, we have more work to do to make our neighborhoods safe, strengthen ties between the police and our communities, and continue important reforms to the Department and I look forward to working with @SFPD to make it happen.
Just watched a mom running screaming down the 21st Street cuz her cell phone snatched by a hoodlum on J Church muni. How about periodic patrols on Muni cars? Esp when Mission High kids cause problems?
